How To Fall Asleep

Are you facing problem in falling asleep at night? Insomnia or sleeplessness is referred to as the inability to sleep. It is a condition when a person remains awake for most part of the night and gets a little or no sleep at all. Sleepless nights constitute worrisome issue, which can affect the normal routine of an individual. Excessive tension, anxiety, stress, anger, bitterness, constipation, overeating and excess intake of tea/coffee/smoking are some of the causes of sleeplessness. Apart from avoiding all this, you can take a number of steps to make sure that you get enough sleep. In this article, we have provided some tips on how to fall asleep.  

Follow a set timetable everyday, even on weekends. In other words, wake up and go to bed at the same time. This will help you fall asleep easily, as the body will get adjusted to the schedule. Your body follows its own circadian rhythm, an internal 24-hour body clock that is affected by light and dark. Maintaining this rhythm would help you fall asleep.

 

One of the best ways to get proper sleep every night is to follow a proper exercise routine. This would help reduce tension and anxiety and also improve the quality of your sleep.

It is very necessary to have a proper diet. Your choice of food before going to bed is very important consideration. Do not consume caffeinated drinks or alcoholic beverages at night. Instead of making a person sleepy, these drinks make it harder to fall asleep.

Your bedroom as well as your bed should be nice and comfortable. It should help you fall asleep the moment you get inside the room and slip beneath the covers. The bedroom should be quiet and dark, with good ventilation. You also need to make sure that there is a nice fragrance in you room at all times.

Sleeping for a long time during the day is likely to affect your night sleep. Try to limit your daytime nap to a maximum of 15 minutes. This will help you fall asleep faster at night.

The moment you get into bed, try to relax your nerves. If you worry, it will only make it harder to sleep. You should avoid worrying or replaying your activities throughout the day, in your mind, at bedtime.

Try to follow a set format everyday for the time period lasting 10 minutes before sleeping. Doing the same things every night would send signals to the brain that it is time to sleep and that you are winding up.
